Financial Times moans about modest trade union reforms, workers rights.
Most of the EU has worker-elected directors on boards of large companies.
FT silence on low wages, fire and rehire, worker insecurity, undeserved exec pay.

Add your name to our open letter to Andy Burnham
Public control is not public ownership. Andy Burnham must clarify that he backs public ownership of life's essentials.
